Roller Fender / Wheel Fender.
Roller and wheel fenders are generally found in the entrance areas of docks, dry docks and other narrow or exposed passages. They can be divided into two types – Roller Fenders and Wheel Fenders.
This type of fender is usually installed to guide ships into space-restricted areas like walls of dry docks. Roller Fender has limited energy absorption capacity and are selected mainly due to its ability only to smoothly guide vessels and prevent collision damage.
There are many design variations for a wheel/roller type fender. Some even utilises tyres as the ‘roller’. Drop us an email to learn more.
